Scott,



I've been produced snows for a few years and that one looks fairly typical. I think there's an opportunity to selectively breed white, pink and yellow snows (some have a combination of all three colors).



Often these snakes lose some pink as they mature. I think it's a similar scenario as leucistic Texas Ratsnakes which are often pinkish as hatchlings, but then turn solid white. I think what's happening is that the white takes awhile to turn solid and some of the pink is due to blood vessels that can be seen through the translucent white scales.
